Default What Do You Think Of My Bird?

These were taken from my camera phone so they aren't very good quality. I will post more when I get a better camera.

I never have. Not only is the paint not quite right but the clear coat is in jacked, lots and lots of bubble and chips only on the front clip. Hopefully when I get my raptor hood, I will have the entire front clip repainted.

seems like sooo many f-bodies have slightly off bumpers. Mine, and two of my friends all have that. The paint is in great shape, just slightly off. I'm having him repaint my bumper and touch up the car this spring... maybe i'll ask him if its just GM paint work or what..
